Recipe Introduction


Makes 4 servings


List of Ingredients




2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3-5 garlic cloves (or according to taste), peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 large bunch fresh spinach or baby spinach leaves, well washed and free of excess water (or 1 bag baby spinach leaves, suitable for microwaving in the bag)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Recipe



In non-stick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat until hot. Add garlic and gently sauté until golden and soft.

Remove garlic with slotted spoon and place in blender or food processor. Add a small amount of the broth and purée garlic; gradually add remaining broth.

Add remaining oil to pan and heat over high heat until hot. Add spinach and toss with fork until spinach has wilted. Add garlic/broth mixture and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until spinach is tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
